Agreed. The invasiveness of the change definitely depends on which UI you’re talking about: in the default web UI it’s probably no big deal, as there’s typically a ton of dead space to the right of the message and you could use the css @media rule to turn it on and off depending on width or something if you wanted, but in a mobile app it would be more problematic.
It’s too bad there’s no @media type 'screenshot' so that we could change the formatting to show the absolute timestamp automatically upon taking a screenshot. (Then again, it would probably be too exploitable anyway…) Especially for apps, I’m liking my “add a dedicated screenshot function that reformats automatically” idea more and more.
in terms of compactness, it’s faaaaar more verbose to display time and date
i’m not necessarily disagreeing, but it’s a significant change and would likely need more than a simple text change
